Horticulture
Automation that works with you
Horticulture is evolving rapidly. Labor is scarce and expensive, and employees face high workloads due to time-consuming and physically demanding tasks. Growers are looking for flexibility and scalability without compromising quality and efficiency. Others are focused on preparing their business for a smooth and attractive transition to the next generation.
WPS develops automation systems that help growers create structure, reduce labor dependency, and build future-ready operations.
Plant Order System
Complete order and processing automation
Demand-driven production requires full control over available volumes. With the Plant Order System, you automate the entire order and processing workflow, from transport and imaging to sorting, buffering, processing, and shipping.
Data from the imaging station is stored per plant using the identification chip in the Oval Plant Carrier. This data is connected to the Order Control Software, which manages and directs the entire process.
By intelligently combining software, sorting buffers, imaging stations, and processing stations, you move from reactive operations to data-driven production. Orders are processed efficiently without unnecessary complexity.
Components of the Plant Order System:
• Order Control Software
• Buffer systems
• Imaging stations, also known as Plant Vision Systems
• Sorting systems
• Processing and workstations such as cleaning and labeling
• Transport options using Oval Plant Carriers or individual pot handling
SmartFlo
Intelligent internal logistics
An efficient greenhouse starts with a smooth operational flow. SmartFlo is the modular conveyor system from WPS that automates and structures your internal logistics, from potting to sorting and shipping.
With various expansions and configurations, SmartFlo always fits your specific situation. Options include crossovers, corners, inclines, counting units, irrigation units, and multiple conveyor types.
What SmartFlo delivers:
• Reduced physical labor
• Overview and operational calm
• Flexible layout with room for future expansion
Smart Staff
Robotics that reduce labor pressure
Labor is costly and increasingly difficult to secure. Smart Staff combines WPS robotic solutions that take over repetitive, heavy, and time-consuming tasks.
From trolley, bench, and tray loading and unloading to pot mixing solutions, these systems simplify repetitive workflows, increase processing speed, and reduce labor dependency. At WPS, we continuously innovate to support growers facing daily operational challenges. The Floormanager, for example, was developed in close collaboration with growers to meet real-world needs.
Smart Staff reduces physical strain on employees, increases labor efficiency, and prepares your operation for future growth.
Plant Growth Cell
Controlled growth and optimal space utilization
The Plant Growth Cell (PGC) was developed for orchid growers seeking maximum control over growing conditions and greenhouse space utilization.
The system creates stable and optimized conditions for plant growth and protection. The Plant Growth Cell is fully compatible with automated systems and integrates seamlessly with the Oval Plant Carrier (OPD). It is also designed to connect with our destacking systems for storage. Through the Oval Plant Carrier, plants can be easily transported within the internal logistics system.
Our mission: Handsfree Plant Production
Through smart, customized automation, WPS helps growers transform operational challenges into structure and clarity.
From internal logistics to order-driven production, from robotics to optimized cultivation processes, we integrate systems that work together and grow with your business. The greenhouse becomes a place that works for you rather than the other way around.
Why WPS?
Driven by continuous innovation and tailored automation solutions for your horticulture operation, WPS guides you toward Handsfree Plant Production.
This allows you to experience the daily benefits of efficiency, time availability, and structured processes that bring operational calm.
We design, build, and integrate automation solutions that align with your business, your workflow, and your future plans.
